Abstract: As an emerging industry, urban rail transit industry is developing rapidly in China, and has gradually become the main mode of urban public transport. Due to the complex structure of urban rail transit system, strict equipment requirements and the need to consume a lot of energy in the process of operation, if certain measures can be taken in the design, development and operation of urban rail transit, the energy consumption can be saved to a certain extent. Based on this, this paper discusses the energy saving of urban rail transit, and analyzes the relevant measures, in order to improve the green development of urban rail transit.
